iPhone 15 Pro Max Wi-Fi Issues

I Hope apple or others can help me out - I’m having issues with WiFi on the IPhone 15 Pro Max


myself and others are having issues with using WiFi and 160hz - many have raised issues on Reddit posts - some cannot connect to there WiFi at all and others can connect like myself but have random issues with no internet from time to time


Mines working on 5GHz 160hz, but sometimes I’ll just have no internet connection (it’s still connected to the WiFi) - I have to disconnect from the WiFi and connect again for it to work.


I’m using ASUS RT-AX82U - 5GHz allowed Upto 160hz - I’m running 1gig internet so last thing I want to do is try running at 80hz as I’ll loose speed


When it does work it works great 😊


PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP APPLE

I've got a fix!!! This was frustrating me to no end. Went to Apple store and talked with one of the experienced techs. He said the issue is the iPhone when you import from an old iPhone imports non-ideal network settings, not just your old iPhone passwords. Fix is below.


Network -> General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone -> Reset Network Settings


Wifi has been working like a charm since I did this. Read about this for hours and never saw this suggested anywhere else so figured I'd contribute.

I have a dual band router, and my iPhone15 pro max doesn’t work on the 5G band, but does connect to the slower 240mhz wider range band. Not ideal, and causes issues with other streaming apps and network connected TVs I try and stream content to. Paying over $1500 for the latest iPhone that seems inferior to the iPhone10 it replaced is a bitter pill to swallow. Please fix this Apple!!!

Having issues with my new iPhone Pro Max 15. Difficulty staying connected to wifi when I leave the house and when I return it won’t connect to wifi and I have to reset the phone then do a speed test to make sure it’s working!

unbelievable, I did contact the Apple Store and they walked me through resetting the wifi on my phone? Worked for a while and again stopped. Are they not aware of this?

Hi everyone,


I’m experiencing the same ongoing Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity issues with my iPhone 15 Pro Max since its release. It’s been a struggle, and I’ve tried every possible fix, including splitting my home network bands and resetting network settings, but nothing seems to work. The situation has left me constantly toggling on and off Wi-Fi and cellular data, with no end in sight.


I miss the stable connectivity I had with my 14 Pro Max and am hoping for a patch or solution soon. 🤞🏽


Has anyone found a workaround or received any support from Apple on this?

This is actually ridiculous, I had an iPhone 12 with NO problems at all, for years. I bought the iPhone 15 Pro max thinking I was about the blown away, but the apps are crashing, grey pictures on facebook, grey thumbnails in other apps, NOW the Wifi doesn't work... are you kidding me?



I've had iPhones for over a decade... this has never happened. Steve Jobs is obviously gone, very sad.


YES, I reseted the network, hard restart and all that... it won't fix the problem.

I got my iPhone 15 pro max 3 days ago, didn’t realise this was an issue and have woken up today with no mobile data left on my plan with 25 days remaining because I’d clicked connect on the wifi before going to sleep and it’s disconnected automatically, then my photos were apparently being uploaded to my phone from iCloud overnight on my mobile plan instead of data 😭 very annoyed as I’ve had to fully change around my data plan now because of this issue. Hopefully this will be fixed soon!!
